Captain Mike Hunsinger, Commander of Criminal Investigation Divisions for the Athens-Clarke County Police Department said the suspects thought Collins was dead.

"They intended for him not to be able to identify them," said Captain Hunsinger. "This is such a heinous case, it's just pure evil. Certainly the initial motive was to rob him but as anybody knows pizza drivers don't carry that much money on the. Intent was to obviously murder him."

Monday, police announced the arrest of 16-year-old Christopher Burnett. They are still searching for 32-year-old Termedric Faust, who is considered extremely dangerous. 

CrimeStoppers is offering a reward for any information that could lead to an arrest. Meanwhile, police are telling delivery drivers to air on the side of caution. Take time to get a phone number, stop and google the location to make sure it's real. In this case, the address was a fake.

"Team member safety is of the utmost importance to Papa John's. We are cooperating with local authorities in their efforts to apprehend those responsible for this attack. Our thoughts are with the driver and his family and we wish him a speedy recovery," said Peter Collins, Senior Director of Public Relations for Papa Johns.
